Friends Beyond The Wall has been providing prisoner pen pal services to our customers since 1999. The
background of our staff consists of computer professionals who are also
family members and friends of prisoners and ex-offenders. Many Internet
companies have taken advantage of our loved ones and friends simply because
they have no way to go on-line to check out a company or product before
they make their purchase. We will act as their advocates and do whatever
we can to protect their interests.

Our customers are rewarded for providing us with the identity of
anyone who solicits them from our web site, as we have assured
them that we do not give their name and address to anyone, other than
for the purpose of meeting new friends. We DO hear from them! Most of
our customers have asked that they NOT be solicited from other companies
or individuals for participation in surveys, or purchasing of any other
type of goods or services.

The above photo unfortunately depicts many of the newer prisoner pen pal companies
who are in this business as a part-time hobby and for all of the WRONG reasons!

When
our customers ask us about a certain prisoner pen pal company that has
forwarded them information (and we have asked them to do this), we will
review the web site and give our professional opinion. Since our only
goal is that our customer receives mail, many times we will recommend
or promote a competitor, if our customer would like to be placed on more
than one web site for additional exposure; however, we'll also expose
those that are not a good value, whose site is poorly designed, or companies
we believe to be unethical by taking advantage of prisoners. Free sites
and those which do not advertise are some that should be steered clear
of because they will not produce results.

Friends
Beyond The Wall, Inc.,
pays a tremendous amount monthly for advertising and promotional costs
to be listed in the top of most search engines. As a result, as of December
2005, 87% of our 2,000+ customers
have received responses to their ads, as tracked by our database, which
tracks forwarded email letters (this does not include responses sent to
them directly via general mail). This is an incredible response
rate for prisoner pen pal ads. Needless to say, we have very satisfied
customers because we give them the only thing they are really looking
for ... "results!"
